PODIATRIST DISCUSSES IMPORTANCE OF BUYING A GOOD RUNNING SHOE
posted: Oct. 26, 2020.
According to podiatrists and runner Douglas Tumen, DPM of Hudson Valley Foot Associates, "Buying the right running shoe is an important way to prevent running injuries. If you have on the wrong shoes, you risk injury. If you're in old shoes, your risk of injury goes up. The first thing you have to do is invest in a good pair of running shoes. There are many wonderful brands that offer more shock absorption, more protection and support, and they do make a big difference."

"Buying the right running shoe can be very confusing, particularly because so many people are buying them online. If you're buying from a name brand, you can't go wrong as long as they fit comfortably and have enough room in front," says Dr. Tumen.
